Hermann Necke

Hermann Necke (8 November 1850 – 15 February 1912) was a German composer, conductor, music director, pianist, and violinist of the Romantic period. He is best known for the galop Csikós Post, first published in 1895 as part of Klänge aus Ungarn [Sounds from Hungary], Opus 286. While seldom heard today, Necke's prolific output of songs, choruses, and instrumental works (upwards of 400 opus numbers) was well-known during his lifetime.
